CALCUTTA, India -- A berserk wild elephant rampaged through villages on both sides of the India-Nepal border, trampling and killing 12 people, police said Monday. Hunters were scouring the thick forests Monday in search of the beast. The elephant killed nine people in an Indian border village on Sunday and three more after crossing into Nepalese territory.
